Patients with cerebral embolism can appropriately eat some mutton, but not too much, as the main dietary approach is a low-salt diet. Additionally, foods high in fat should not be consumed excessively, because a common cause of cerebral embolism is the hardening of blood vessels in the neck, carotid artery plaques, especially when soft plaques break off and form emboli that block cerebral vessels through the bloodstream. Thus, consuming these high-fat foods excessively can exacerbate hyperlipidemia, worsen arterial sclerosis, and increase arterial plaque, potentially leading to the recurrence and aggravation of cerebral embolism. Therefore, patients with cerebral embolism can appropriately consume some mutton, as its fat content is not too high, but it should not be consumed in excess. Eating it in moderation is acceptable.
